The Round Robins are wrapping up for the 2023 NYHL Playoffs. Here are the tie breaker rules from the NYHL Rules and Regulations found on our Coaches Portal:

Two Teams tied (steps to be applied in order until the tie is broken) 

(i) The team with the most wins shall be awarded the higher position

(ii) The team having the most wins against the other team shall be awarded the higher position

(iii) Using all games of the Round Robin, calculate the GF/GA percentage and the team with the highest percentage will be awarded the higher position

(iv) The team that scored the first goal in the playoff series between the two teams will be awarded the higher position

Three or more Teams tied (steps to be applied in order until the ties are broken)

(i) The team with the most wins shall be awarded the higher position

(ii) If two teams are tied with the most wins, then apply the “Two Teams tied” rules to determine which team is awarded the higher position. The other team will be awarded the next highest position. For the remaining teams, apply the ‘Two Teams tied’ steps or ‘Three or more Teams tied’ steps repeatedly until all teams are positioned

(iii) If three teams, or more, are tied with the most wins, then calculate the GF/GA percentage for each team. The teams will be positioned by highest percentage to lowest percentage. For the remaining teams, apply the ‘Two Teams tied’ steps or ‘Three or more Teams tied’ steps repeatedly until all remaining teams are positioned

GF-GA Percentage Formula
Goals For / (Goals For + Goals Against) {Times 100 for percentage}
Example:
Goals For = 10 Goals Against = 4
10 / (10+4) = 0.714 * 100 = 71.4%
